Draft letter from WSC to Sir Richard Acland [Independent MP for Barnstaple, Devon] stating: that he did not believe that there would be any point in their meeting; that he did not think that the results of a few by elections was significant and that a future general election would return different allegiances and stating that after the war he would work hard to remove the black fish from his pool which have done very well considering they only get what they can find on their own.
